IMPROVEMENT IN PLOWS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 39,761, dated September 1, 1 863 antedated October 24, 1862.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, NATHANIEL S. TALL- MADGE, of Fond du Lac, in the county of Fond du Lac and State of Wisconsin, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Combined Crossing and Subsoil Flows; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings and the letters and figures marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

In the aforesaid drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of myimproved plow. Fig. 2 is a plan or top view of the same; and Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the front or crossing plow, showing the landside thereof, which is cut off in Fig. 1 at the line of section of section (I b in Fig. 2.

Similar letters in the different figures represent corresponding parts of my invention.

The nature of my invention consists mainly in combining in one implement a crossing and a subsoil plow, and in constructing the same in a simple and durable manner.

In the accompanying drawings, A represents the beam; B, the handles; 0, a standard supporting the handles, which, by means of the holes h h in C, may be raised or lowered at pleasure.

, D is the crossing-plow, and E the subsoilplow.

- E is the clevis, which can be raised or lowered by means of the hole g.

G is a strong band of iron around the end of the beam to prevent its splitting.

a a and c c are strong iron braces or bars The subsoil-plow is so arranged as to throw thesoil upon top of the furrow'made by the crossing-plow. By means of the peculiar construction of this plow the parts can all be removed from the foundation to a and c 0' when worn out, and new ones substituted in their place.

What I claim asmy invention is- The arrangement of the braces to a. c c, the braces c e, the rib marked 1', and the laudside,

constructed as described, and for the purposes substantially as set forth.
